Comment Re:So why hasn't the video creator counterclaimed? (Score 4, Informative) 219

I've had a Youtube video taken down years ago for a claim, and got it reinstated. It didn't cost me anything, in fact I think when I got notice of the take-down I was given a form to fill out by Youtube to challenge it. I simply copy-pasted a few statements from Wikipedia about fair-use and a few days later it was brought back to my account. So unless Youtube has changed since then, it shouldn't take money, just a bit of time.

Comment Risk vs Reward (Score 1) 215

A lot of it is risk vs reward. A game with a good portion of it done shows that their is a lot less risk. Not only on the game getting completed and released, but also on if you may or may not like the finished result. So more people are going to be willing to shell out. The reward for a kickstarter is often just the finished product and possibly some extra swag if you want to pay more. If all you have is some concept art, the risk is a lot higher that you may not like the finished product. It could be a fine and successful product, but maybe not something that you may like or disappointed they went a different direction than you expected. A traditional investor on the other-hand, doesn't have to worry on if 'they' will like the end product. Just that it sells well enough to get their money and hopefully a profit on return back.
